My mom sent me a text a couple of days ago reminding me of the time when I was about 3-4 years old, we would ride the bus downtown, go to my mom’s favorite store, go to their cafeteria and eat a hotdog at end before going back home. I used to sing hymns on … Continue reading Choose Joy

I came across a quote from Joan of Arc a couple days ago, it said “I am not afraid... I was born to do this.” Before we were even conceived, God already had a plan for us to be born and a path for us to follow. When I realized my God given purpose though, … Continue reading God Given Purpose

Deep inside everybody wants to be loved and accepted. That means you have to put yourself out there, and that brings vulnerability and a huge chance of hitting the jackpot or getting hurt. It also requires a great amount of honesty and integrity, and sadly it doesn’t matter what they say, at the end they … Continue reading Just another shiny piece of glass

I was reading my devotional this morning, and it talked about giving grateful praise to God for everything good we have received, and then I read Psalm 100. I could spend all day telling you about each blessing we have gotten from God, but something else came to my mind when reading my Bible. The … Continue reading A reason, a season or a lifetime

I cannot say 2018 was a bad year, but I'm glad it's over. I must say 2018 was so much better than 2017 though! I am so excited that 2019 finally got here because it brings a fresh start to so many things. During 2018 the kid and I came to realize so much, a … Continue reading A FRESH START

The kid is 8 years old now, and what he needs now is somewhat different this year than a few years ago. Yesterday I shared what I packed with a dad … Continue reading Carry-on Packing for Kids

Husband and I lived in California when we got married. We lived close to his mom’s house, we used to get together with her a lot and we usually kept her busy. Her world got emptier when we moved to Texas, and it was harder because traveling was not an option for her. So a … Continue reading A kid and a grandma

The kid and I went over to Cracker Barrel to pick up our Thanksgiving dinner, came back home to enjoy it in peace before decorating our Christmas tree with all the family ornaments we have. Ornaments with family pictures since the kid was born with Richard, with Nike and with Zoe. It was fun to … Continue reading Remaining grateful after losing loved ones

The kid came home the other day with a list of things he’s thankful for. His handwriting and drawings are so cute, but what he is thankful for made my heart melt.
